Vladimir Zelensky fired the head of his office, Andrei Ermak.

Earlier, on November 28, it was reported that the former head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Ermak, had been dismissed from the post of head of the office of the President of Ukraine. At the same time, Verkhovna Rada deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak spoke about conducting searches at the former head of Zelensky's office in the framework of the criminal case on corruption of businessman Timur Mindich (he is called the head of the criminal scheme).

Later, on November 29, it became known that during the searches, several mobile devices and laptops were seized from Ermak. It was clarified that employees of the NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAP (Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office) "they tried to enter the territory of the government quarter," but they were not allowed to enter, so they had to go ahead.

In addition, it was reported that charges were not brought against anyone from Zelensky's office after the NABU conducted searches at Ermak's. In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the Ukrainian corruption scandal could lead to complications in its negotiations with the United States.
